Dear Doreen,
As my colleague Victoria has written we have a lot to offer in terms of culture, history and religion. Many tourists coming to Bulgaria do not expect much, but at the end the leave full of nice impressions from the country. Visiting Bulgaria you will learn about the Thracians, about the Roman period, the medieval times, you will visit extremely beautiful churches, Thracian tombs, the Black sea coast (depending on your itinerary) and of course you will meet the local Bulgarians and will see how we live, our customs and traditions. Besides the nature in the spring, the summer and the autumn is beautiful, but indeed the best time to travel to Bulgaria is late May early June.
Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am based in Sofia and will be happy to propose you a program that will include the most interesting and valuable sites.
Kindest Regards,
Pavlina Docheva

Hi, Doreen,
Bulgaria is indeed a rich destination when regarding culture and heritage. If you are interested in Thracian history there is a lot to see in the Rhodope Mountains and the Rose Valley, Greek and Hellenistic Antiquity you can trace in Varna (here is also the oldest golden treasure in the world on display), Nessebar and Sozopol by the Black Sea coast, Roman history around the town of Plovdiv, Byzantine culture and Second Bulgarian Kingdom in the town of Veliko Tarnovo and many more sites. In our capital Sofia you could see a mixture of almost everything mentioned, as well as modern history.
Great time to see Bulgaria is in late spring - not too hot or cold, especially for the famous Rose Festival, which takes place in the town of Kazanlak every first weekend of June.
Whatever you choose, I hope you will be delighted with our country.
Best regards, Victoria Balezdrova

I have set aside money to stay in Bulgaria and I am looking for a top of the line luxury hotel that offers all of the typical accomodations and more. I will be spending a week and a half at this location so I'd prefer it to be near the city and around a lot of tourist attractions. Any ideas?

Hi,
I would be glad to give you a suggestion, too, but first of all it is good to know whether you prefer the coastal line for a stay, the spa resorts, or the capital - Sofia. Each one has a great number of possibilities to offer, just be more particular about the location you prefer

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your interest in the sightseeing of Sofia and Bulgaria. Based on the requirements that you expose, I would suggest you stay in Grand Hotel Sofia - a perfect location and extremely very professional service. You will also be in a proximity to all the main landmarks in Sofia as well as many bars and restaurants.
From Sofia you can do some one day tours: to the town of Plovdiv, to the Rila Monastery, to the village of Koprivshtitsa. You could also visit the town of Veliko Tarnovo (I would suggest with one overnight there) or even go further to the sea coast. Should you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will gladly send you possibilities and details.
Sincerely,
Pavlina
